The 2021 Barbera d'Alba is both vibrant and youthful, delivering complexity and finesse that has been a hallmark of this renowned estate. Oozing with red and black fruits, fresh thyme, and white pepper, it has a lean structure and a refreshing, acid-driven finish. Rich layers of dark berries, licorice, and tobacco leaf emerge on the palate, supported by firm yet silky tannins and vibrant acidity. The wine's structure suggests graceful evolution over the next five to seven years, though it's equally compelling enjoyed now. Pairs beautifully with braised dishes, risotto, and robust red meat dishes.
